A Happy Home for Roxy

As the holidays approach and we are enjoying warmth, comfort and love in our homes, Roxy is still waiting to find that for herself. Roxy has been in and out of Homeward Pet for 3 years after her original owner passed away. Now, this sweet feline needs her adoption angel.

Roxy has a couple medical issues which sound a little scary, but they’re really not. The herpes virus, which gives her chronic upper respiratory infections, and inflammatory bowel disease (IBD). Due to the herpes virus, Roxy sometimes experience flare-ups where she appears to have a cold—her nose gets stuffy and she sneezes (sometimes a lot!). It passes in about a week and a low-stress environment may help prevent them from coming on at all. For IBD, just make sure Roxy has her Natural Balance duck and pea food. It’s available at most major pet stores and isn’t too expensive. She also gets Miralax daily to help prevent constipation, and she eagerly eats that mixed in with her wet food.

Roxy is an amazing cat who will bring a lot of joy to her adopters’ lives. She can cuddle. Oh goodness, can Roxy cuddle! Her most cherished pastime is to curl up in her favorite volunteers’ laps and read a good book—she happily snoozes away while being read aloud to. This surely would transfer over to watching TV or playing video games.

Her second favorite pastime is playing! She has bursts of energy that would surprise you for a 9-year-old cat. Mice and wand toys are her favorites. She’s got quick reflexes and can snag any toy out of the air in a nanosecond. Come watch her in action!

If you have been feeling the urge to do something good and help an animal in need, Roxy is here and waiting for you. Once you bring her home, she will show you what it means to be truly grateful. Please help Roxy find her Happy Home this holiday season!
